I'm not sure why everyone is so hepped up over clock speed. hell, most software doesn't even take advantage of it, and adding memory, a faster hard drive and/or a faster graphics c…

I sure hope that Apple has some tricks up their sleeves. That 2.4GHZ P4 and 64MB ATI Mobility Radeon 7500 is lookin mighty nice.
